    Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Superintendent Michael Fedorko on Thursday issued a new policy after a passenger was dragged from an oversold United Airlines flight Sunday evening at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.

    The policy says officers will not assist in the physical removal of passengers to accommodate the airline’s request. Officers are to examine each instance on a case-by-case basis.

    The police department oversees Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark airports.
